hi
I've done a little research, and it appears most graphical terminal
emulators depends on a library called libvte, in a package called vte
in arch. If anyone knows enough about c or possibly c++ code to take a
look, the accessibility bugs might be there. I say this, because all
terminal emulators I've used, gnome-terminal, mate-terminal which I
think is just a gnome 2.x gnome-terminal fork, lxterminal, and
xfce4-terminal, all have the very same bugs to varying degrees. Gnome
terminal is the worst though. I mud a lot, and tintin is most usable
in lxterminal, but it still has the occasional issue. I wonder if
orca's issues with elinks, cgdisk, and other ncurses apps is caused by
this terminal bug? This has been going on for, well, since I think
gnome 2.x, and has either not improved much, or has gotten slightly
worse in the interveening years. I do agree, orca is fantastic, and
the amount of dedication that goes into it is amazing.
Thanks
Kendell clark
